Description
The 
Unattended Unfold command unfolds a sheet metal object.
If the parent body of a selected planar face has been subject to unfolding before, this tool will skip the menu in the task panel. Otherwise it will show an error message asking for either "set a Manual K-factor" or "use a Material Definition Sheet".
With the first use of the 
Unfold command the parent body's label received a suffix (such as _material_0.5din) and after that it is ready to be use with this tool.
